An appeal to the laws does not exist there. I wish that emigration to the Hawaiian Islands should be rather discouraged than encouraged, and this I declare formally and publicly." And yet even in the face of this public de- claration from a responsible officer of the Hawaiian Government, who, of all men in

Again, the harp is bigger than the elephant, which is not according to the eternal fitness of things; but the harp were reduced to the proportions of the elephant, it would be of nearly microscopic size, and if the clephant be enlarged to correspond with the harp, the blazon would cover the greater portion of the officers' uniform.
